We Be Echo - " Ceza Evi " ( Cause For Concern CFC 23 ) 1983

Do you remember those garage pyche comps from the seventies, Nuggets
(compiled by that hideous long hair from the awful Patti Smith
Group,Lenny Kaye), which featured a load of american bands doing
impressions of British invasion bands and/or Bob Dylan?Well, if there was a similar series featuring bands doing impressions
of the big industrial bands, called maybe "Blood Clots", We Be Echo
would be included.They/he sounds like a lost attic tape of Cabaret Voltaire, even down to an almost note perfect rip of the Western Mantra called "It Was You".Like Nuggets, this is no bad thing, because you've heard the originals
so many times, you crave another release from the original artist that
you have never heard before.We Be Echo sounds exactly like Cabaret Voltaire circa "The Voice Of America" album, and how we wich the Cabs always sounded like this, and never went Disco.We Be Echo evolved out of "Third Door From The Left"(featured very soon
on this Blog) who sounded exactly like Throbbing Gristle; they'd be on
"Blood Clots" too!I think I may compile this series, its a good idea me thinks.Many thanks to P.J. for this great tape.Track Listing:Sexuality

Wow. Thanks. I take the conparisons as huge compliments. I was friends with TG and Mal of the Cabs. I borrowed the Cab's drum machine for a couple of Third Door songs and I bought TG's chorus space echo so there would be similar sounds between us.
